RE: Notice of Decision - Site Plan Review (Project No. 12 -0092)
Dear Mr. Holdsworth:
Jim Eggert, Planning Director
Planning Division
Phone: (661) 326 -3733
FAX: (661) 852 -2135
The Planning Director, upon recommendation of the Site Plan Review Committee,
has approved your plans for construction of a 208 -unit apartment complex in an R -2
(Limited Multiple - Family Dwelling) zone district at 4900 Gosford Road.
Your proposal, with corrections as noted, meets the minimum required codes,
policies and standards for development as adopted by the Bakersfield City Council.
Specific items have been identified (see attached Site Plan Compliance List) that you
need to resolve before you can obtain a building permit or be allowed occupancy.
These items may include changes or additions that need to be shown on the final building
plans, alert you to specific fees, and /or are comments that will help you in complying with
the city's development standards. Each item will note when it is to be completed and
they have been grouped by department so that you know who to contact if you have
questions.
Your next step is to either apply for necessary building permits to construct your
project, or begin your business activities depending on the request submitted. You must
submit final building plans to the Building Division. The Site Plan Review Committee will
review these final plans while building plan check occurs to ensure that you satisfy the
items in the Site Plan Compliance List. Please read them carefully. Failure to satisfy an
item may delay your obtaining a building permit or commencing your project.
After construction of your project but before the City can allow occupancy, the
Building Division must inspect the development to find if it complies with the approved
plans, and any other relevant permits and codes. If you have satisfied all of the
requirements, the Building Director will issue a certificate of occupancy; of not, the area
inspector will give you a correction notice. Once you have made all of the corrections,
the Building Director can issue a certificate of occupancy. You may not occupy a
development until the Building Director has issued a certificate of occupancy.

INDEMNIFICATION CONDITION
In consideration by the City of Bakersfield for land use entitlements, including but
not limited to related environmental approvals related to or arising from this project, the
applicant, and /or property owner and /or subdivider ( "Applicant" herein) agrees to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City of Bakersfield, its officers, agents,
employees, departments, commissioners or boards ( "City " herein) against any and all
liability, claims, actions, causes of actions or demands whatsoever against them, or any of
them, before administrative or judicial tribunals of any kind whatsoever, in anyway arising
from, the terms and provisions of this application, including without limitation any CEQA
approval or any related development approvals or conditions whether imposed by the
City, or not, except for City's sole active negligence or willful misconduct.
This indemnification condition does not prevent the Applicant from challenging any
decision by the City related to this project and the obligations of this condition apply
regardless of whether any other permits or entitlements are issued.
The City will promptly notify Applicant of any such claim, action, or proceeding,
failing under this condition within thirty (30) days of actually receiving such claim. The City,
in its sole discretion, shall be allowed to choose the attorney or outside law firm to defend
the City at the sole cost and expense of the Applicant and the City is not obligated to use
any law firm or attorney chosen by another entity or party.
REVISIONS OF THE APPROVED PLAN
Any time after site plan approval but before the approval expires you may submit
revisions to the plan. We will treat these revisions as a new site plan application subject to
a new review and required fees. The Planning Director can only approve minor changes
to the original plan without a new application if they are necessary to meet a condition,
mitigation, or result from physical obstacles or other comparable constraints.
EXPIRATION OF PLAN APPROVAL
Approval of this site plan expires on April 18, 2014 (2 years from the decision date),
unless building permits have been issued, or on projects not requiring a building permit,
the use has commenced. The project must be completed within 5 years from the decision
date. If the property is rezoned, site plan approval will expire upon the effective date for
the rezoning unless the use is permitted in the new zone.
The Planning Director may extend the expiration date up to one (1) year if you
resubmit new plans for check against the code requirements in effect at that time and
include a written request for the extension. We must receive this request before expiration
of the project approval. We will not require a fee for this extension request; however,
changes to the plans originally approved for purposes other than code requirements shall
be subject to a new site plan review, including payment of all required fees.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the provisions of CEQA, it was found that a previous Negative
Declaration approved by the Planning Commission on March 18, 2010 with General Plan
Amendment /Zone Change No. 10 -0008, is adequate for this proposal as it would not have
SPR# 12 -0092 Page 3 of 13
a significant effect on the environment. A public hearing was held on March 18, 2010,
accepting public testimony on the project and its environmental effects, and this
Negative Declaration was approved by the Planning Commission at the conclusion of the
hearing. Public hearing notices were posted, mailed to all property owners within 300 feet
of the project area, and published in a local newspaper of general circulation at least 10
days before the hearing.
APPEAL
Any person may appeal this decision. An appeal is limited to whether or not an
adopted development standard, zoning regulation, mitigation, or policy applied or not
applied to the project, was done consistent with the authority granted by city ordinances
or the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The appeal must be in writing stating
the precise basis or issue as noted, include a $700 filing fee, and must be filed within 10
days of the decision date to the City of Bakersfield Planning Commission (c /o Bakersfield
Planning Director, 1715 Chester Avenue, Bakersfield, CA, 93301). The Planning Commission
will hold a public hearing on the appeal and their decision will be final unless their decision
is appealed to the City Council.
Site plan approval is based on the statements made in the application and the
plans you submitted. Any errors or omissions on these plans could alter the compliance list
and /or void this decision. If you have questions about any of the items noted in the Site
Plan Compliance List, you must speak to the contact person representing the department
requiring that item. If you have other questions regarding general information about the
site plan review process, please contact the Planning Division at (661) 326 -3733.
DECISION DATE: April 19, 2012
Sincerely,
JIM EGGERT, Planning Director

CONDITIONS AND ORDINANCE COMPLIANCE
The following are specific items that you need to resolve before you can
obtain a building permit or be allowed occupancy. These items include
conditions and /or mitigation required by previous site entitlement approvals
(these will be specifically noted), changes or additions that need to be
shown on the final building plans, alert you to specific fees, and other
conditions for your project to satisfy the City's development standards. The
item will usually need to be shown on the final building plans or completed
before a building permit is issued. Each has been grouped by department
so that you know whom to contact if you have questions.
A. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES -BUILDING (Staff contact- Steve Ewing 661 - 326 -3677)
1. Prior to review of improvement plans by the City, the developer shall submit a
grading plan for the proposed site to be reviewed and approved by the City
Engineer and Building Official (Bakersfield Municipal Code Section 16.44.010). With
the grading plan, if the project is subject to the provisions of the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with the
terms of the General Permit to Discharge Storm Water Associated with Construction
Activity (WQ Order No. 99- 08 -DWQ) must be filed with the State Water Resources
Control Board in Sacramento before the beginning of any construction activity.
Compliance with the general permit requires that a Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) be prepared, continuously carried out, and always be
available for public inspection during normal construction hours.
2. A grading permit is required prior to final plan approval. The developer shall submit
4 copies of grading plans and 2 copies of the preliminary soils report to the Building
Division. A final soils report shall also be submitted to the Building Division before
they can issue a building permit. Please note that grading plans must be consistent
with the final building site plans and landscaping plans. Building permits will not be
issued until the grading permit is approved by the Building Division, Planning Division
(HCP), and Public Works Department.

SPR# 12 -0092 Page 5 of 13
6. Buildings or structures shall require installation of an automatic fire sprinkler system
where required by current California Building Code and City ordinance.
Before the Building Division can allow occupancy of this apartment complex, they
must inspect and approve the placement and colors of the address numbers
identifying each unit and /or building, and on -site building /unit location maps so
that emergency personnel can easily find a specific unit when responding to the
site during an emergency.
8. The Building Division will calculate and collect the appropriate school district
impact fee at the time they issue a building permit.
9. Final Building plans shall show pedestrian access pathways or easements for
persons with disabilities from public rights -of -ways that connect to all accessible
buildings, facilities, elements, and spaces in accordance with the California
Building Code. These pedestrian access ways shall not be parallel to vehicular
lanes unless separated by curbs or railings.
10. Prior to granting occupancy, the Building Division will verify that a water meter
serving the development is in place. Therefore, it is recommended that the
developer contact the applicable water purveyor to inquire about their process for
obtaining water service for the development as soon as possible. To determine
who the water purveyor for the development is, you may contact the City of
Bakersfield Water Resources Department (1000 Buena Vista Road, Bakersfield, CA,
phone: 661 - 326 - 3715).

4. Lighting is required for all parking lots, except residential lots with four units or less
(Section 17.58.060 A.). Illumination shall be evenly distributed across the parking
area with light fixtures designed and arranged so that light is directed downward
and is reflected away from adjacent properties and streets. Use of glare shields or
baffles may be required for glare reduction or control of back light. No light poles,
standards and fixtures, including bases or pedestals, shall exceed a height of 40
feet above grade. However, light standards placed less than 50 feet from
residentially zoned or designated property, or from existing residential
development, shall not exceed a height of 15 feet. The final building plans shall
include a picture or diagram of the light fixtures being used and show how light will
be directed onto the parking area. Please note that staff can require additional
adjustments to installed lighting after occupancy to resolve glare or other lighting
problems if they negatively affect adjacent properties.
5. The developer shall include a copy of a final landscape plan with each set of the
final building plans submitted to the Building Division. Building permits will not be
issued until the Planning Division has approved the final landscape plan for
consistency with approved site plans and minimum ordinance standards (please
refer to the landscaping requirements in Chapter 17.61).
(NOTE: At the time a final site inspection is conducted, it is expected that plants will
match the species identified and be installed in the locations consistent with the
approved landscape plan. Changes made without prior approval of the Planning
staff may result in the removal and /or relocation of installed plant materials and
delays in obtaining building occupancy.)
6. Our records show that the project is contained on more than one parcel. These
parcels shall be merged into one parcel because parking must be on the same site
as the project (Section 17.58.010B of the B.M.C.), building setbacks cannot be met
based on the design layout, and /or a parcel line bisects a building. A parcel
merger or lot line adjustment application removing or relocating property lines shall
be submitted to the Planning Division before building permits can be issued.
Recordation of the map shall occur before final building or site occupancy can be
granted. If our records are in error and these parcels have been merged, please
provide a copy of the parcel map, subdivision map, or certificate of compliance
showing the property as one parcel. (Note: An Assessor's map is not acceptable
since it is only for tax purposes and does not verify legal parcel status.)
7. Business identification signs are neither considered nor approved under this review.
A separate sign permit reviewed by the Planning and Building Divisions and issued
by the Building Division, is required for all new signs, including future use and
construction signs. Signs must comply with the Sign Ordinance (Chapter 17.60 of
the Bakersfield Municipal Code.)
8. Habitat Conservation fees shall be required for this project and will be calculated
based on the fee in effect at the time we issue an urban development permit
(includes grading plan approvals) as defined in the Implementation /Management
Agreement (Section 2.21) for the Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat Conservation
Plan. Upon payment of the fee, the applicant will receive acknowledgment of
compliance with Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan
(Implementation /Management Agreement Section 3.1.4). This fee is currently
SPR# 12 -0092
Page 7 of 13
$2,145 per gross acres, payable to the City of Bakersfield (submit to the Planning
Division). This fee must be paid before any grading or other site disturbance occurs.
Forms and instructions are available at the Planning Division or on the city's web site
at www.bakersfieldcity.us (go to Development Services Department).
The current Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan (MBHCP) expires in
year 2014. Projects may be issued an urban development permit, grading plan
approval, or building permit and pay fees prior to the 2014 expiration date under
the current MBHCP. As determined by the City of Bakersfield, only projects ready to
be issued an urban development permit, grading plan approval or building permit
before the 2014 expiration date will be eligible to pay fees under the current
MBHCP. Early payment or pre - payment of MBHCP fees shall not be allowed. The
ability of the City to issue urban development permits is governed by the terms of
the MBHCP. Urban development permits issued after the 2014 expiration date may
be subject to a new or revised Habitat Conservation Plan, if approved, or be
required to comply directly with requests of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Agency and
the California Fish and Game Department.
9. A Park Development and Improvement Fee shall be paid at the time of the
building permit being issued. We will base the fee at the rate in effect at the time
the permit is issued. The current fee is $1,615 for each independent residential unit.
10. Refuse collection bin enclosures and container areas are subject to all required
structural setback from street frontages, and shall not reduce any parking, loading
or landscaping areas as required by the Zoning Ordinance.
11. In the event a previously undocumented oil /gas well is uncovered or discovered on
the project, the developer is responsible to contact the Department of
Conservation's Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR). The
developer is responsible for any remedial operations on the well required by
DOGGR. The developer shall also be subject to provisions of BMC Section 15.66.080
(B).
12. The developer shall meet all regulations of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution
Control District (Regulation VIII) concerning dust suppression during construction of
the project. Methods include, but are not limited to; use of water or chemical
stabilizer /suppressants to control dust emission from disturbed area, stock piles, and
access ways; covering or wetting materials that are transported off -site; limit
construction - related speed to 15 mph on all unpaved areas /washing of
construction vehicles before they enter public streets to minimize carryout /track
out; and cease grading and earth moving during periods of high winds (20 mph or
more) .
13. Prior to receiving final building or site occupancy, you must contact the Planning
Division (staff contact noted above) for final inspection and approval of the
landscaping, parking lot, lighting and other related site improvements. Inspections
will not be conducted until all required items have been installed. Any deviations
from the approved plans without prior approval from the Planning Division may
result in reconstruction and delays in obtaining a building or site occupancy.
SPR# 12 -0092 Page 8 of 13
Mitigation Measures from Negative Declaration for GPA /ZC No. 10 -0008:
Air Quality
14. The proposed project will have air pollutant emissions associated with the
construction and use of the project site. Prior to grading plan approval, the
applicant /developer of the project site shall submit documentation to the Planning
Department that they will /have met all air quality control measures required by the
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. Mitigation for potentially significant
air quality impact.
Biological Resources
15. Prior to ground disturbance, the developer shall have a qualified consultant survey
the location for burrowing owls, and comply with the provisions of the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918 (16 U.S.C. 703-711). Survey protocol shall be that
recommended by the State Department of Fish and Game. Developer shall be
subject to the mitigation measures recommended by the consultant. A copy of the
survey shall be provided to the Planning Department prior to ground disturbance.
The burrowing owl is a migratory bird species protected by international treaty
under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918 (16 U.S.C. 703-711). The MBTA
makes it unlawful to take, possess, buy, sell, purchase, or barter any migratory bird
listed in 50 C.F.R. Part 10, including feathers or other parts, nests, eggs, or products,
except as allowed by implementing regulations (50 C.F.R. 21). Sections 3503,
3503.5, and 3800 of the California Department of Fish and Game Code prohibit the
take, possession, or destruction of birds, their nests or eggs. To avoid violation of the
take provisions of these laws generally requires that project - related disturbance at
active nesting territories be reduced or eliminated during critical phases of the
nesting cycle (March 1 - August 15, annually). Disturbance that causes nest
abandonment and /or loss of reproductive effort (e.g., killing or abandonment of
eggs or young) may be considered "taking" and is potentially punishable by fines
and /or imprisonment. Mitigation for potentially significant biological resource
impact.
16. Prior to ground disturbance, the developer shall have a qualified consultant survey
the location for kit fox, and comply with the provisions of the Metropolitan
Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan. Survey protocol shall be that recommended
by the State Department of Fish and Game. Developer shall be subject to the
mitigation measures recommended by the consultant. A copy of the survey shall
be provided to the Planning Department prior to ground disturbance.
The current MBHCP expires in year 2014. Projects may be issued an urban
development permit, grading plan approval, or building permit and pay fees prior
to the 2014 expiration date under the current MBHCP. As determined by the City of
Bakersfield, only projects ready to be issued an urban development permit, grading
plan approval or building permit) before the 2014 expiration date will be eligible to
pay fees under the current MBHCP. Early payment or pre - payment of MBHCP fees
shall not be allowed. The ability of the City to issue urban development permits is
governed by the terms of the MBHCP. Urban development permits issued after the
2014 expiration date may be subject to a new or revised Habitat Conservation
SPR# 12 -0092

Plan, if approved, or be required to comply directly with requests of the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Agency and the California Fish and Game Department. Mitigation for
potentially significant biological resource impact.
17. Four likely San Joaquin kit fox den entrances were observed on the north slope of
the sump in the northeast corner of the project site. The following mitigation
measures shall be taken to reduce the impact to the potential dens or any other
sensitive species:
a. The potential dens shall be avoided and if the impact to the dens is
unavoidable, then the den shall be monitored for activity and excavated no
earlier than May 1, 2010, and with written permission of the California
Department of Fish and Game.
b. A "tailgate" session for all construction personnel be conducted by a
qualified biologist, prior to initial ground disturbance, relative to all
environmental federal, state and local law. It is recommended that all
construction personnel be trained in sensitive species identification and
avoidance techniques and that any evidence, such as sensitive species
activity, dens, or burrows, observed at any time during construction be
promptly reported to the reviewing agencies for resolution.
C. All pipes, culverts, or similar structures with a diameter of four inches or
greater shall be kept capped to prevent entry of kit fox. All structures not
capped or otherwise covered, shall be inspected prior to burial or closure to
ensure no kit fox, or other protected species, become entrapped.
d. Escape ramps shall be provided for any trenches or ditches left open during
construction and deeper than two and a half feet.
e. All trash containers located on the site during construction shall be closed
and that all trash or other food waste be place in the designated containers.
Cultural Resources
18. If human remains are discovered during grading or construction activities, work
would cease pursuant to Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code.
If human remains are identified on the site at any time, work shall stop at the
location of the find and the Kern County Coroner shall be notified immediately
(Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code and Section 5097.98 of
the California Public Resource Code which details the appropriate actions
necessary for addressing the remains) and the local Native American community
shall be notified immediately. Mitigation for potentially significant cultural resource
impacts.
19. Prior to ground- disturbance activities associated with this project, personnel
associates with the grading effort shall be informed of the importance of the
potential cultural and archaeological resources (i.e. archaeological sites, artifacts,
features, burials, etc.) that may be encountered during site preparation activities,
how to identify those resources in the field, and of the regulatory protections
afforded to those resources. The personnel shall be informed of procedures relating
to the discovery of archaeological remains during grading activities and cautioned
to avoid archaeological finds with equipment and not collect artifacts. The
applicant /developer of the project site shall submit documentation to the Planning
Department that they have met this requirement prior to commencement of

fixed rate program.
PUBLIC WORKS - SOLID WASTE (Staff contact - John Wilburn 661- 326 -3114)
1. You must contact the staff person noted above before building permits can be
issued or work begins on the property to establish the level and type of service
necessary for the collection of refuse and /or recycled materials. Collection
locations must provide enough containment area for the refuse that is generated
without violating required zoning or setback restrictions (see Planning Division
conditions). Levels of service are based on how often collection occurs as follows:
Cart service -- 1 cubic yard /week or less 1 time per week
Front loader bin services -- 1 cubic yard /week - 12 cubic yards /day
Roll -off compactor service -- More than 12 cubic yards /day
2. Show on the final building plans refuse bin enclosures. Each enclosure shall be
designed according to adopted city standard (Detail #ST25 A and B), at the size
checked below Q. Before occupancy of the building or site is allowed, 18 three
cubic yard front loading type refuse bin(s) shall be placed within the required
enclosure(s).
❑ 6' deep x 8' wide (1 bin) ❑ 8' deep x 15' wide (3 bins)
0 1- 8' deep x 10' wide (2 bins) 0 4 - 8' deep x 20' wide (4 bins)
NOTE: All measurements above are curb -to -curb dimensions inside the enclosure.
If both refuse and recycling containers are to be combined in the same enclosure
area, this area must be expanded in size to accommodate multiple containers /bins
(contact the staff person above for the appropriate enclosure size).
3. Facilities that require infectious waste services shall obtain approval for separate
infectious waste storage areas from the Kern County Health Department. In no
instances shall the refuse bin area be used for infectious waste containment
purposes.
4. Facilities that require grease containment must provide a storage location that is
separate from the refuse bin location. This shall be shown on the final building
plans.
5. Facilities that participate in recycling operations must provide a location that is
separate from the refuse containment area.
